DefCoreLib

Shared core library for the def9a2a4 plugin family - a data-driven custom-block engine plus demo content. On its own it only ships the engine and some command-only demo items; other plugins build their features on top of it.

What it provides

• Custom-block engine - YAML-driven player-head blocks with states, redstone behavior, particles, light, storage, and animated display entities.
• Custom items & heads, recipe registration, and persistence (chunk scan + self-healing) that companion plugins reuse instead of reimplementing.
• Mechanism engine - turns groups of blocks into moving display entities + colliders: glue-based doors/drawbridges and mechanism minecarts.
• Recipe gating - companion plugins switch their content's recipes on by namespace, so installing one adds a coherent, craftable feature set.
• ~20 command-only demo blocks (candles, redstone/binary displays, storage barrels, alarms, spinning/pulsing decorations) - grab them with /defcorelib give. Not meant to be useful, just there for testing the functionality.

Used by
